Why water the pitch ?

I didn’t notice whether they watered the pitch last night but assumed they did by the way the players were slipping whenever they tried turning quickly; and on Saturday it looked at one point like a water main had gone, the pressure of the water spraying into the pitch was so great. But what’s the point of watering the pitch just before kick off ?

I think it unfair that players warm up on a surface, then they spray it with water for ten minutes and create a totally different playing field. Not just Charlton, but everywhere. Watering should be banned within 30 minutes of kick off and until after the game.
